This from the Fort Worth Star Telegram, July 11, 2007: David Pawlik called the fire department in Cleburne, Texas, in July to ask if the "blue flames" he and his wife were seeing every time she lit a cigarette were dangerous, and an inspector said he would be right over and for Mrs. Pawlik not to light another cigarette. However, anxious about the imminent inspection, she lit up and was killed in the subsequent explosion. (The home was all-electric, but there had been a natural gas leak underneath the yard.)
Tragic. But totally preventable.

It's hard for me to consider this tragic. Anyone who doesn't know that blue flame tends to be associated with the burning of GAS is an idiot.
Natural selection at it's best.
Yup! Natural Selection at it's best.
